sh: Improve performance of SH4 versions of copy/clear_user_highpage
The previous implementation of clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage checked to see if there was a D-cache aliasing issue between the user and kernel mappings of a page, but if there was they always did a flush with writeback on the dirtied kernel alias. However as we now have the ability to map a page into kernel space with the same cache colour as the user mapping, there is no need to write back this data. Currently we also invalidate the kernel alias as a precaution, however I'm not sure if this is actually required. Also correct the definition of FIX_CMAP_END so that the mappings created by kmap_coherent() are actually at the correct colour.
